David and Laura met in 2004 at The Sage College of Albany. Laura would graduate with a B.F.A. in Photography and David a B.F.A in Graphic Design. With a love of Photography, Art and Design in common, the two stayed in touch over the years. After graduating, the two worked in different areas and on different coasts of the country. After years of yearning for something more and with an ever-present interest in the arts, they decided to take a bold step. In the beginning of 2018 they decided to take their passion a step further and formed a partnership resulting in the creation of A Modern Muse Photography.

Always looking for a new viewpoint, an edgy composition, or classic and elegant lighting, David and Laura combine their skills behind the lens and computer to create truly unique and inspiring photographs. A Modern Muse Photography specializes in wedding photography throughout the Capital Region and beyond. They are also involved in commercial photography and portraiture and have been chosen to be the official photographers of the Saratoga Tour de Cure.

Ever striving to evolve and grow their business, they are working on construction of a new studio space in Scotia. What was once a free-standing garage is being transformed into a modern and inviting studio space where clients can come and have family portraits taken or enjoy a cappuccino as they discuss plans for their big wedding.

https://art.sage.edu/thurs-march-26-630pm-artist-lecture-stacey-robinson/#respondWed, 06 Feb 2019 21:30:08 +0000https://art.sage.edu/?p=7083Stacey Robinson, originally from Albany, NY, is an assistant professor of graphic design at the University of Illinois, is an Arthur Schomburg Fellow who completed his MFA at the University at Buffalo. His multimedia work discusses ideas of “Black utopias” as decolonized spaces of peace by considering Black affluent, self-sustaining communities, Black protest movements, and the art that document(ed) them. As part of the collaborative team, “Black Kirby,” with artist John Jennings, he creates graphic novels, gallery exhibitions, and lectures that deconstruct the work of comic book creator Jack Kirby to re-imagine resistance spaces inspired by Black diasporic cultures.

His recent exhibition, Binary ConScience, explores ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois’s “double consciousness” as a Black cultural adaptation, and a means of colonial survival. Another of his exhibitions, Branding the AfroFuture, at Union College in Schenectady, NY, looked at consciously designing and constructing Black futures through various cultural and collage aesthetics. Through his emerging sound practice, Stacey creates the sonic experience of the Afrofuture through collaging house, hip-hop, and other music to create a harmonious soundscape that converses with the aesthetics of an art exhibition. Recent works appear in books: Kid Code: Channel Zero from Rosarium Publishing and Prison Industrial Complex For Beginners, from For Beginners Books. His latest graphic novel, I Am Alfonso Jones with writer Tony Medina is available from Lee & Low books.
